54 Magellan™ 9300i / 9400i ScannersOperational ConfigurationOnce Selftest diagnostics have been successfully run, a tone is emitted (if con-figured to do so, and the unit enters an operational configuration state. Thescanner or scanner/scale will automatically load your specific interface settingswhich are required to communicate with the host system. There are two condi-tions that must be met before the unit can enter Operating Mode:• No bar code label can be in the scan volume while the unit is in this state.Progress is halted until the label has been removed, thereby ensuring thatno extraneous bar code data is sent to the host.• If your scanner has a scale, the scale cannot be in motion (usually causedby excessive vibration in the checkstand) for this test to succeed. A “Scalein Motion” status will be indicated by displaying a period and the applica-ble weight unit (lb or kg ) that is selected.• The scale must be able to “capture” zero weight. The display willbe seen if there is a weight on the platter at power-up. Removing theweight or pressing the Scale Zero Button should allow the scale to findzero.• When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest successfully, itemits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Operating Mode.Operating ModeOperating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning, EAS deactivation andweighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed bythe user/operator.Normal OperationThis condition is indicated by the scanner green LED and the EAS deactivationLED both being on dim and steady. For scanner/scale models, the scale yellowLED indicates that the scale senses a weight of zero on the platter. If you have ascanner without scale model, the yellow lamp will not be lit when the scanner isready for scanning.Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown sequence. Ifthere is no activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out1), theunit will shut off in order to prolong the life of the optical components. Oncethe scanner has timed out, it enters Sleep Mode.Sleep ModeAfter the scanner has been left idle for a preset period of time, the unit goes tosleep. This state is called Sleep Mode, and is indicated by a “slow” blink of thegreen light (blinking at a 2-second rate). To wake up the unit, press anywhereon the weigh platter (scanner/scale models only), press the Volume Selectionswitch or wave your hand in front of the vertical window. The unit will recognizeany of these signals as a wake-up call and instantly return to Normal Operation.. lb . kg- 0 -NOTEYellow and Green LED indications are configurable. Your scan-ner may not be programmed to operate in the standard mannerdescribed above.1. “Timeout” and “Sleep Mode” time delays are programmable features that can be selectedthrough use of the programming labels included in Chapter 7, Programming.
